Dahlgren and Hollywood name both an unincorporated community and its surrounding township — a common pattern in this county, not a duplicate entry. Several names on older lists for Carver County — Brandondale Chaska Mobile Park, Crown College, Faxon Court, Hazeltine, Hydes Lake, Jonathan, Riverside Terrace and Riverview Terrace mobile-home parks, the Waconia Trailer Court and the White mobile-home park — are subdivisions, campuses or private parks rather than recognised communities, so they are not carried into this list.<\/p>\n
